    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

A sexually dimorphic ungulate of large stature and unique coloration, it is the only species in the genus Boselaphus. It is endemic to peninsular India and small parts of Pakistan and Nepal, has been extirpated from Bangladesh, and has been introduced in the United States (Texas), Mexico, South Africa, and Italy. It prefers open grassland and savannas and locally is a significant agricultural pest in India. It is not of special conservation concern and is well represented in zoos and private collections throughout the world. DOI: 10.1644/813.1.

BACKGROUND: Black mulberry is a good source of bioactive compounds and especially of anthocyanin. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphological, biochemical, technological and antioxidant properties of black mulberry fruit and fruit-derived food products. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Total anthocyanin content, total sugar content, ascorbic acid content, pH and antioxidant activity was analyzed in black mulberry juice, jam, jelly, syrup, liqueur, compote, wine and cake. All products were produced from selected genotypes of black mulberry grown in Slovakia. RESULTS: Reducing sugar content ranged from 6.50 mg.kg–1 FM in wine to 60.01 mg.kg–1 FM in jam, ascorbic acid content was from 0.27 mg.100 g–1 FM in wine to 1.10 mg.100 g–1 FM in fruits conserved in honey without sterilization. Content of anthocyanin varied from 21.4 in wine to 106.4 mg.dm–3 in fresh juice.

(Rosales: Moraceae) were investigated for antitermitic activity against Reticulitermes favipes (Kollar) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) in laboratory experiments. An ethanol:toluene (2:1) solvent system was used to remove extract from heartwood shavings. A concentration-dependent feeding response and mortality were observed for termites exposed to a concentration series range of 1.25 to 10 mg/ml of extract based on their dry weight. Results showed that maximum termite mortality occurred at 10 mg/ml. Based on the concentration series data, LC50 was calculated at 1.71 mg/ml. In flter paper feeding and repellency assays, extract signifcantly decreased the total number of gut protozoa compared with untreated and solvent controls. After feeding on flter paper treated at 10 mg/ml for 2 wk, protozoan populations were reduced by >55%. In choice and no-choice tests with mulberry heartwood, greater wood loss from termite feeding was found on solvent extracted blocks compared with nonextracted.

  • 'Kesar Chhanta Pratha' and Nature Conservation in Udaipur and Dungarpur District, Rajasthan, India Author & Presenter –Dr
    Suggested topic-Ecology & Environment, Reference Number: Ab 0435, 2016.08.08 'Kesar Chhanta Pratha' and Nature Conservation In Udaipur and Dungarpur District, Rajasthan, India Author & Presenter –Dr. Devendra Singh Chouhan [email protected], Mo. No. +919413208520 Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, University College of Social Science and Humanities, Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. Abstract- All the natural resources are very valuable and important for our life. For this reason, our society has been conserving these resources from ancient time. The Khejadli Movement, the Chipko Movement, the Appiko Movement etc. are vigorous examples in India for forest resources conservation by the communities. In the same way, in Udaipur and Dungarpur district of southern Rajasthan state (India), a custom named 'Kesar Chhanta Pratha' (Saffron Sprinkle Custom) has been going on since ancient time for forest conservation. People of these areas sprinkle saffron on the name of God 'Kesriyaji' and take oath not to cut the forest. By this act, a threat prevails among the people that if they cut trees/forest, God will ruin them. Thousands of hector forest is still safe due to this practice in this area. This custom has been studied through observation of the area and collecting primary data through interview of concerned people. Major objective of Research is to study the practice of Kesar Chhanta Pratha for nature conservation in Udaipur and Dungarpur districts. Keywords-Bishnoi, Chipko & Appiko Movement, Kesar Chhanta Pratha (Saffron Sprinkle Custom), Kesriyaji, Khejarli. Introduction- Nature has provided us many valuable resources, such as - air, water, soil, climate, earth, sunlight and energy, mineral, vegetation, etc.
